Cool Book for Children and Adults

When I went home this spring, my mother had this cool book that had clues in it that lead to real treasure (she works with preschoolers, so she has to keep up on things like the latest Harry Potter gossip or the rumors about Bob the Builder). It's a fairy tale with the obvious title A Treasures Trove, but in the pictures and within the story are subtle clues that lead to gold tokens hidden all over the United States. The tokens can be redeemed for rare jewels in the shape of creatures from the book. The prizes all total $1 Millions dollars. It seems to me like a brilliant way to get both children and adults to use a little creativity and solve some puzzle together. My brother, my mom and I all spent a good couple of hours looking for clues (we are all over the age of 20, but hidden treasure brings out the kid in us all) and enjoying the intricate illustrations.

Well, the first jewel has been found. It was in my home state, no less. A man from Pittsburgh found it with the help of his daughter. Congratulations to them and good luck to all those who are still searching for treasure. The following is the link the the CNN breaking story:

Another fantastic weekend of shows, capped off by an evening at Bullwinkle's...thanks Rochester! It looks like the first 4X: 4-way Improv Action champs were The League of Fancy Gentlemen -- NELLIS, CAL, and CHRIS! Congrats. They each got a Delorian and a Dodo Egg as their prize. See y'all in a month!

Friday Night? AWESOME.

Thanks to everyone who came out last night and hung out with us for our first round of 4X - Four-Way Improv Action!!! And how about that DARREN MARK from Channel 13? The first judge to score a scene 435 points, which went to Charley's Angels' Star Wars-ridden scene. Of course, the record for highest-scored scene was soon eclipsed by The Rock Warriors' animatronics and water-ride scene, which banked them over 500 points! lots of fun.

Tonight, Middle Name: Danger will play Charley's Angels for third place, while The Rock Warriors will tackle The League of Fancy Gentlemen for the top spot! Celebrity judges? CARSON and SANDY from 98 PXY! Get your tickets now! www.gevatheatre.org!

Saturday Night's post-party at BULLWINKLE'S

Hello, friends -- after Saturday Night's show, we're planning on celebrating the birthday of our very own CHARLEY by hittin' up BULLWINKLE'S. Oh, and look. Shameless self-promotion...here's more information about the place if you need it. From City newspaper:

Best place to wear a hat

Betty Meyer's Bullwinkle Cafe

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if David Lynch dated your grandma and opened up a bar? Bullwinkle opened up in, like, 69 1/2 A.D. and originally found old-school Geva Theatre-types making it their custom. A bezillion years later the place looks like it needs dusting, a fresh coat of paint, and a dehumidifier, but it couldn't be more fabulous, more fantastic, or more strange. You say you'd like to karaoke but hate being fenced in by the DJ's CD wallet of choices? Let Bullwinkle's outstandingly talented piano players play along to whatever the hell you want, or just grab one of their elementary school music-class brand noise makers and just play along. You'll soon be saving your out-of-town friends from labeling you as a boring stiff when you take them here, put them in one of Bullwinkle's funny hats, and let loose. 622 Lake Avenue, 458-5530 (Tim Goodwin)
